the guy is NOT an eyewitness to the shootings....unless he lied to momma:
"Lance Cpl. Briones told his mother he saw the bodies of 23 dead Iraqis.
Susie Briones got a panicked call that day from her son, who said he did not see the shootings but was told by his supervisors to go into the houses and remove the bodies"

Having just read that article YOU posted the link to...
I am getting more confused..were all of these Marines together when the IED went off, killing Briones' friend, but only half of them went in and supposedly killed all of the people???
What was Briones and this other guy doing during all of this??
And, they were just told to get the bodies???
The more I read about this, them more questions I have.
Did you read the article on the link at post #62?
